How long does an investigation take if someone is accused of possession of drugs?

Dear,

There is no specified time stipulated in the law for the duration of the possession of drugs investigation.

It varies depending on a case-by-case basis. Drug cases are serious offenses in the UAE and hence, the procedure and investigation will take time.

It also depends if the case is currently with the police, transferred to public prosecution, or the Court. Hiring a lawyer may speed up the process.

Regards.
